Lucinda Williams - American Dream Lyrics

Send "American Dream" ringtone to your cell

Last time i saw you you had dirt under your nails

Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale

You said my life has become a livin' hell

Ain't got enough money to pay my bills

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm

He got hooked on heroin in vietnam

It used to help kill the pain some of the time

Now i can't sleep at all since i got back home

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

I worked in the strip mines off and on

Now i can't seem to get rid of this cough

Ain't been many jobs these last few months

And the last one i had i got laid off

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat

Can you loan me some money for something to eat

Been out here on this corner for about a week

Tryin' hard to stand on my own two feet

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

They want to try and tell me where i can live

They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me

A nice little tract house with running water

But how am i gonna explain that to my navaho mother

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

My american dream almost came true

But the things they promised me never came through

I believe in the american dream

But things are never quite what they seem

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong
